Scruta

Built by one indie dev for another.

No agency. No VC. No growth team. Just the workflow I actually use, turned into a tool.

Scruta started while I was building my own app. I'm a solo developer working with a small budget and no marketing team. To get the app in front of people I needed creators, but I couldn't afford to spend money on the wrong ones.

So I used AI to build myself a tool that took the guesswork out of it. I'd feed it the numbers from a creator's profile, and it would run the checks and give me a straight read on whether someone was actually worth working with. It genuinely helped.

The catch was that it was still slow. I was the one digging up every number and copying and pasting it all in by hand, one creator at a time. It worked, but it was tedious.

So I took that tool and turned it into a web app that does the gathering for you. Now you just type a handle, and Scruta pulls the numbers and runs the checks itself, no copying and pasting. That's Scruta.

The promise is simple. Scruta gives you an honest read, even when honest means “don't pay this person.” It's built for founders working with their own resources, because that's exactly who I am.

If you're building something real and trying to get it seen without overspending, this is for you. One indie dev to another.
